"Edit > Cleanup > Remove unused instruments" isn't as thorough as it could be. It doesn't remove unused sequences that are referred to by used instruments but unchecked, and the excess unused sequences caused confusion for a user of FamiTracker's text export . I reproduced this bug in Fami...

You may have to crank up the buffer length in File > Configuration > Sound. I too use FamiTracker in Wine, and my buffer length ended up at 70 ms. It usually needs to be longer in Wine than in Windows. If you see "underrun" notices in the status bar when the distortion happens, then buffer...

The last time I opened it was just to listen to it. After that, I closed Famitracker then unplugged my flash drive. The operating system may not have finished writing something, causing the file system to become inconsistent. To keep this from happening again, always unmount the flash drive using &...

In other words, FamiTracker is being bug-for-bug compatible with the known (mis)behavior of the APU sweep unit, as described on NESdev Wiki : The two pulse channels have their adders' carry inputs wired differently, which produces different results when each channel's change amount is made negative.

This is a cover of "Dark Halls" (E1M3) from Id Software's Doom (1993) ( listen on YouTube ). As with the rest of Doom 's soundtrack , it was inspired by metal music of the time. After hearing RavenousSoothing's VRC7 cover , I decided to see what the 2A03 alone could do wi-- NEDM We interru...

The other engine is Pently . Any channel on a PSG can have this interruption as long as it has software-defined envelopes and instant timbre switching. (SID lacks software envelopes, as do pulses and noise on Game Boy. Samplers don't switch timbre seamlessly.) It's essentially an extension of the co...

FamiTracker 0.4.6 and 0.5 beta 5 work in Wine on a PC with an x86 (or x86-64) CPU and X Window System. But this doesn't include the Raspberry Pi line of single-board computers or other devices with an ARM CPU. Winelib allows compiling Wine-compatible Windows applications for Linux and *BSD on non-x8...

In 1996, Squaresoft released Tobal No. 1 , a Tekken clone with characters designed by the artist of Dragon Ball . The game had eight composers, and I don't know which of them was responsible for "Disused Mine" (Chuji's theme) . Nearly 10 years ago, I covered that piece in ModPlug Tracker. ...
